Oh dear, poor fleabag kitty! I hope you can get him sorted soon Vonni.

I am very proud to say that I had a pretty good weekend. The weekend is usually when I fall apart but this weekend I did okay. Went over my points on Saturday due to the fact that I went out for Chinese dinner and drinks for my friends birthday but I did write down everything I ate during the weekend and I did pretty much stick to my normal meal times.

Also went to the gym on Saturday and for a short 20 minute walk Sunday meaning that my total cardio for the week was 270 minutes :D

I'm nervous but excited about weighing myself tonight.

Goals for today are to stick to my points and have a great workout at the gym tonight.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.


:twirly:

Dropped 0.6kg this week and weighed in at 72.2kg :carrot:. Creeping ever closer…

I'm starting to feel really pumped about breaking through that 70kg barrier. Even though it's still a little way away, it feels like a massive achievement - and I'm starting to realise how close I am. But one foot in front of the other, and the next goal for me is to get below 72kg over the next week or two.

On my virtual walk around Australia I will pass through Norseman this week and head east across the desert. My next 'town' will be Balladonia - which is 915km from Perth. After that there's a lot of desert and very few towns :dizzy:.

Julia - great stuff about your weekend, and good luck with tonight's weigh-in :).

Congrats Ani - awesome result!

:cheer3::cheer2::cheer3::cheer2::cheer3::cheer2:

woohoo ani! :carrot:

fingers crossed julia

voni - capster i think it is called u can get from vet or supermarket makes fleas go away real fast then just keep treating with whateva u are doing and they go away for good - after capster though the fleas literally jump off anywhere so keep cat away a bit it is real cheap too

me - lost 300grams 99.7kg so i am acheiving the julia goal so far! (the 250grams a week = 1 kg a month = 12kg in a year goal) (of course)

hanks guys. Will get something on payday. Car died last night. Need to get new starter motor grrrr. More money.

Went to Dr, have to have nuclear scan on thyroid. Found some nodules on last scan and one was 10mm. Bloods were soso. So still none the wiser grrr.

She has me booked in for next week and we are doing a mini mental health on me so I can get into some counselling and get medicare rebate woohoo. Just stress levels. Really dunno if it'll help. I need to drag Matt and Lukas along and have someone yell at them to wake up and smell the roses about LIFE. If I am tired i do NOT want sex (thats to Matt). And to Lukas it is... STOP being suc]h a god damn prat and if mum says no its NO for a valid readson, not just to be a *****.

U know, this weekend matt wanted s e x and i fell asleep in the middle of day was so tired. Then when i told him about my test results he sent me text saying, are yr feelings about me going to change? (like hello why?) I rang and said Y and he said well, if u get treatment etc... yr gonna be concentraing on yr health and not want s e x and you'll be tired all the time. Then when he came over, he asked me when we are going to have s e x again. I just looked at him with mouth agape and he said "What? it's a valid question" I just said to him that why plan it? Can't we let things just happen. Someone needs to upsmack him the side of the head and tell him its not all about HIM all the time.

Sry, just had to vent.

Now, as for diet.... HAH whats that???? No water at all for past 3 days. Chips and choc yesterday. Today just 2 eggs on toast.

I just seem to tired to bother preparing anything. Anyone ever have those times when its just in the to hard basket?

Hey guys im back ..

We had a fabulous holiday, the boat was lovely and river was fantastic and the fishing was fun.. the kids were really good too .. ;)

We would love to go on a house boat again but next time go further up river.. to start off. ..

We started at murry bridge pulled in the ponde for the first day or two which is an area which had some wild dogs and loads of wild life and not another soul to be seen.. FABULOUS.. stayed there a day and a half and went up to the town of mannum for a few supplies and a dinner out.. kids played in the park there .. had a great time..
then we went 3 hours up river to Lake claret... that was fabulous loads of pelicans which i fed my tiddly fish too and a dryed up lake.. that the birds were standing in the middle of.. it took us a fare while to get to the actual lake from the river and we forgot the camera but the birds were unreal and we were walking on what used to be the lakes water.. there were clams and fish skeletons everywhere..

You couldn't get close to the actual water becuase it was like quick sand around the edges.. but you could see the backs of the fish struggling in the very low water.. it was a birds paradise easy fish to catch.. not way for people to get near.. them.. it was really pretty...

we stayed at lake claret for 2 and a half day then made our way back.. the fishing was great ..

we swam alnmost everyday in the river.. the first day i took the little blow up boat out managed to tip it over and lost an oar before john even had a turn.. i was in trouble.. lol but the bloddy stupid oar sunk.. lol .. Cameron freaked out when the boat tipped so i couldnt rescue the oar as it swept passed my legs.. .. lol .. then at the lake i got back in the little boat with one oar and carrened it into the side of the house boat.. it popped and sunk.. lmao....... JOHN didnt get a turn at all .. LMAO>> OOPS ..


On our way back to murry bridge there was a skier really showing off.. and thought he was hot sh*t John waited for him to get right next to our boat in the middle of his jump John honked his horn and the skier mid jump turned to us lost one hand hold then the other and ended up crashing face first into the river.. it was hilarious.. wish i had a video camera .. couldnt one a prize on family home videos.. ( this skier is showing off lets show him something... HONK>>>> ahh what splash.. lol )

We pulled up in murry bridge the kids had a great play on there equipment looked at the bunyip and went for another swim (we swam almost everyday and me and JOhn relaxed in the spa on the top deck most evening once the kids went to bed.. ) we went out to tea last night too and got ourselves back to the marina very early this morning since today was supposed to be 40 degrees.. we went to hahndorf on the way home and took the kids through the misty hollow fairy cave there that is attached to a toy shop you pay $6.00 per family to go around it , its very cute.. and we got home at about midday ..

Best holiday .. :) .. i havent read all your post yet im just loggin on to check in and tell you what ive been up to .. will read them later.. got a milloin loads of washing to do .. and and and... lol ... cya guys later..

I didnt fall off the planet.. or even drown in the river.. lol .. hope you are all good.. :)

Great to see you back Amy, I was wondering where you were! Sounds like you had a great holiday :D

Wow, Vonnie I've never heard of a nuclear scan! I hope that everything gets better soon :hug:

Congrats on your 300g loss Kel! That's really good :cheer2:

Well I had a great day yesterday with food and gym etc. Went to weigh myself all excited and thanks to all my hard work last week I lost a whopping ...... 100g :(

REWD!!

At least a couple of my measurements have gone down so that's good. Will keep on keeping on and hope for a better result next week.

Goals for today are to stick to my points and to do 60 minutes cardio at the gym tonight.


:twirly:

Vonni tell Matt that what you need from him right now is SUPPORT for your health concerns and NOT constant demands for a tumble in the sack! I hope everything gets sorted soon and that you start to feel better :hug:.

Amy - welcome back!!! We missed you. It sounds like you had a fabulous holiday.

Hey Kel - 0.3kg is excellent. I'm really proud of you :carrot:.

Julia don't let the scales be the judge of a successful week. Look at all the healthy decisions you made - better food choices, exercise, more motivation - and your measurements reflect that. There could be any number of reasons for not losing 'much' - and the most likely culprit is water. Chin up! It's coming off, and that's the main thing.

All good with me. I'm really broke at the minute so the next two days, until pay day, of eating will be 'interesting' - but it's just another challenge. I am DETERMINED to get below 72kg by the end of this month.

Wonder how Lindor is going. She would be more than half way to Darwin by now, as long as she manages to avoid flooded roads and other such hazards.

Ani, sent him an SMS this morning before i went to work that said just that, and..................... havent gotten a reply in any way shape or form.

fcuk i hate men sometimes

Hope you've been able to talk to him by now Vonni and that things are ok. It must be hard.

It's a beautiful day here in Christchurch and such a shame to be stuck inside at work!

Food was 90% on track yesterday and I did 65 minutes cardio at the gym so that was good. Goals for today are to be 100% on track with food and to have a good session at the gym tonight. That part won't be difficult as I'm seeing my trainer for the first time in a couple of months!


:twirly:

And it's a beautiful day here in Perth…

Julia I hope you survive the personal trainer without too much pain and punishment :D

Vonni what's the latest? Heard back from Matt yet?

Amy how are you settling back in to home after your holiday?

One more day until payday! My challenge for today is to find healthy things to eat among the scraps in my fridge and pantry, and to drink enough water.

I'm going to wash/vacuum my car today and do some weeding. That's exciting - not! But I just keep reminding myself that every good decision I make - food/water/exercise - will get me that little bit closer to getting under 72kg.

i am so sick of s e x, in my case though it is not pressure from benji, he takes it when he can get it and doesnt push it and understands how exhausted i am
what i am sick of is people that are obsessed with it, like there is no relationship without it! kids at woolies talking about their s e x lives and other peoples
people on another forum i am on trying to spice up their marriages and have s e x in wierd places
or just want to talk s e x all the time

sorry to be a stick in the mud but there is way way more to life and s e x is a bonus
i have another friend who has made it ok with her hubby that she goes and has s e x with other guys!! wtf!
anyway that is my whinge about s e x
so vonni - i think ur man is being a tad demanding and he needs to give you better reason than just because to have s e x
so there

i hope lindor is going ok - i love a roadtrip but would be daunting to be going and not coming back

julia - your exercise commitment is awesome i have to get back into exercising i went for one walk this week on sunday arvo with benji, jem and the dogs and want to get out again at least once this week

ani - i absouloutely HATE realising that you were right all along about slow and steady weight loss i am aiming for a nother small loss this week and am pretty sad to think that by this time next year i will still most likely be over 80kg when this time LAST year i had gotten to 82kg, oh well my own fault

amy - i am so glad you had such an awesome holiday - you SO SO SO deserve it!! got any photos??
